Kristofferson was everything your arsehole rightwing country singer wishes they were. He was a veteran, a man who had been through hard shit, and a genius song writer. And he REGULARLY called them out for being none of that. And for lacking the human empathy that living through that gives you.
He was a college classmate of my parents. I grew up with stories about him; he and Mom were Phi Beta Kappa together. And they were so pleased at his success! My first, greatest, longest celebrity crush. This is rough.
The story of him tearing Toby Keith a new one is amazing
Anyway. Sunday Morning Come Down. First song i heard of his, aged 23, and fell in love with him. Because NOBODY has ever fully captured hangovers and regret greater than Kris Kristofersson. youtu.be/vbqGWTxwZEA?...
